Jim could probably elaborate on this, but at least the
PocketLinux/standard builds of the KaffeVM Custom Edition were still using
the same base garbage-collector & jit modules as the desktop edition.
Indeed there was jit4 and mem2 & mem3 (Boehm Incremental Garbage Collector
6.0 bridge) on the PL branch, but I'm not sure if those were ready for
prime-time, since they don't appear to have been used.

I'm not entirely sure of microwindows etc. either; but provided these
modules are functional (or at least semi-so) in the code made available
before clsoing the development tree, I guess it shouldn't be too much of a
trouble to transfer them over. It's the core and classlib changes
(sometimes supporting said modules) that would be troublesome, I think...
